Serial No. 621,354.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, AxEL J. ANDERSON and GEORGE WV. Gorr, citizens ofthe United States, residing at East Hampton, in the county of Middlesexand State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement inWVork-Holders; and we do hereby declare the following, when taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of referencemarked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, andrepresent, in

Figure 1 a side view partially in section of a work-holder constructedin accordance with our intention. Fig. 2 a sectional view of thework-holder spindle with the bell to be polished removed. Fig. 3 anunderside view of the base. Fig. 4 a side View of the work-holding yokedetached.

This invention relates to an improvement in work-holders andparticularly to a holder for use in polishing bells.

In polishing bells they are placed upon a handle and forced against apolishing wheel, but to hold bells, and particularly large gong bells,requires great strength.

The object of this invention is to provide a support by which theoperator may hold the bell in proper relation to the polishing wheel andturn the same so that all parts may be polished; and the inventionconsists in the construction hereinafter described and particularlyrecited in the claims.

In carrying out our invention we employ a base 2 into which the lowerreduced end 3 of a post 4 extends, and this reduced end is connectedwith the edge of the base by three spiral springs 5, it being understoodthat the opening in the top of the base through which the postextends issomewhat larger than the reduced end of the post so that the post may beturned out of a vertical line. Into the upper end of the post we insertthe shank 6 of a yoke 9 which yoke comprises a bar 10 on which thesleeve 11 of a handle 12 may rest. The sleeve receives a spindle 16adapted to support a bell 13 to be polished. Preferably we first secureto the spindle a bell 1 1 corresponding in size to the bell 13 to bepolished and then place the bell to be polished upon the outer end ofthe spindle .as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The bell lt forms asupport for the bell 13 which may be turned on the outer end of thespindle, and the supporting bell may be readily changed for one of adifferent size when a bell of a difierent size is to be polished.Preferably and as herein shown, the sleeve 11 is formed with a hook 15to rest on the bar 10 of the yoke. The sleeve 11 can thus be turned onthe bar 10 and the yoke turned in the post 4, and the post moved in alldirections out of the vertical line so that all parts of the surface ofthe bell to be polished may be moved against the polishing wheel.

1. A work-holder comprising a base, a post having a reduced endextending into the base, springs connecting the reduced end with thebase, a yoke mounted at the upper end of the post, and a work-holdinghandle adapted to rest upon said yoke.

2. A work-holder comprising a base, a post mounted in said base thelower end of the post connected with the base by spiral springs, a yokemounted in the upper end of the post and formed with a bar, a spindleadapted to rest on said yoke, and means for supporting a bell at theouter end of said spindle.

In testimony whereof, we have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses.
